Monday

here is the plan for today

dress like a slob.
clean room until i can't see anything resembling a mess that i could be considered personally responsible for from the couch.
sit on the couch and stare out the window and think about king lear without actually reading it until my eyes hurt.
put on glasses.
make a bagel with glasses on so roommates can see that i have glasses.
move to the desk.
play web sudoku for four rounds, about 16 minutes (staves off alzheimer's).
try to think of new idea for writing sample in case king lear is a stupid one.
actually read king lear until i have to leave at 3:30 for my dentist appointment.
i am pretty busy!

yah, use that argument. i want to be right about it. i want every one to think edmund is the real hero in the story for using his natural superiority to beat out the idiots who are getting handicaps all over the place. of course he dies but who doesn't?

she's definitely extremely self-righteous (act 1 scene 1) where she tells her dad how great and perfect and honest she is: "so, my lord, and true" (line 107). shakespeare can't be condoning this childish behavior, can he? i think he is really against this strict adherence to any principle. i mean, doesn't cordelia's unwillingness to compromise on this little thing cause practically all the issues in the play?
